I had heard talk of a mother's love for her child before the day I had my own. I'd heard stories of a mother that gives her life to save her child's. I'd seen that kind love expressed by my own mother everyday. I guess, I never thought it to be much different then the love a person feels for any other immediate family member. Boy, was I wrong. It's not that I don't love my other family unconditionally and entirely, but a mother's love is undoubtably incomparable to any other. October, 20, 2009 was the day I had my first child. A beautiful baby girl. We named her Emma. Nobody could be more perfect in my eyes. She was born at 5:11 am. That's a moment in time I will never forget. The moment when I discovered what love really is. It's truly amazing how a person can instantly love somebody so much that their needs, wants, and life in general no longer matter. Nothing matters but her. With this new kind of love comes all sorts of other new feelings. Instinct to protect , constant worry, and fear of not being good enough. Sure, you may think these feelings are not new and that you have felt them before in other aspects of life, but I guarantee you have never felt them to this degree. They are amplified so much that they are to be considered new feelings entirely. As a new mother I was always concerned that I was doing something wrong, or that something would happen, that I would not be able to protect my child from. A confirmation from my own mother as well as two and a half years of parenting have taught me that, those feelings never go away. I had my second child, Carter, on March 1st 2010. Although I knew I felt love for him throughout my pregnancy, I will admit I was a little concerned that I would not feel the same love for him as I do my daughter. I could not understand how it could be possible to love another person this much. Once again, I was wrong. The love I feel for my son is, although somewhat different, just as intense and unbreakable as the...

First few days at college
Day 1,
Date 28th February 2014,
Time 8:30 am to 6:00 pm
All students gathered in the auditorium and were given a welcoming speech by our senior FMB Program candidates, they shared their practical experiences from the program, and gave us a frank advice i.e. to remain focused, retain learning’s, attend all the lectures, on time submission of assignments, avoid partial group behavior, etc. which was like an eye opener for us.
We were then divided into two groups i.e. GROUP I & GROUP II, I was part of the latter group and therefore we had to remain in the same room, we were then accompanied by Prof Jyotsna Shah and was to improve our verbal ability and confidence, in which we had to address a speech to our group of 35 members on any desired topic , for a minute and half , I learned in this about my group members ideologies and likes , it also influenced me to know about myself in knowing time taken in decision making which was a reality check , simultaneously video recordings were done and replayed in order to correct the correct postures , loudness , expressions etc.
The class of 75 was then amalgamated again, and Sir Mac Fernandes accompanied us with his valuable learning’s on World Competitive Report, which was a reality check for us Indians, as I realized the countries’ economy is in a very bad shape, also something...

...WhenI Met My Best Friend
There are many ways friends meet their best friends. Some meet them accidentally while some was destiny. But meeting my best friend was so funny. Her name is Z. We have hilarious moments together. We both know we can’t stay mad at each other. But most of all we both love each other like blood sisters.
I moved to another school in 2009. I was sad because I didn’t know anybody in all my new classes. I wanted somebody to talk to besides my desk mate. Two days pasted and I met a girl who was ok but I didn’t really get along with her. So for lunch I just walked all around school until the bell rang for 4th times.
One day, my teacher told the class to get into groups of three. While I was looking for a group everybody else got into their groups. I was walking around the class and seeing who didn’t have a third person. Then someone reached over and poked me saying if I wanted to be in her group. I said “yes, thank you.” In that group there were three girls including me. But one of the two girls was really nice and friendly to me. When classed ended I forgot to ask what was her name.
After that another teacher assigned us a grouped to work with. When...

“WhenI was a Child”
WhenI was in high school Ihad the opportunity to travel across the country and to meet people from all over the world. During this time I saw people being rejected services, assistance, and being disrespected because of the color of their skin.
I was traveling to Ohio to shoot in a national competition but before getting there we had a three hour delay in Chicago. People from all over the country were walking to get to their destination. We went to a restaurant called “Mighty Pizza” when walking in I notice a sight that says “white’s only”. Not thinking anything of I we walk in start to ask for the special when the manager approaches a friend and I asking us “if we could leave the establishment”. With a weird look in my face not knowing why is asking us to leave. Kevin a friend asked “why are we being forced to leave… did we do something wrong”. The manager turned around pointer at the sign and said” we do not serve your kind”.
WhenI was told this it, came to be shook because Ihad never seen or heard of racism but in movies. Not only was I in shook but very offended not because he saw the tone of...

...Story of my Faith
WhenI was a child, my faith was as big as an elephant! WhenI was young…
I thought that God can make miracles when you prayed. I was right, what I didn’t expect was that God will have the right time to give you what you want, or other plans for you. WhenI was about 9, my faith slowly got bigger and bigger. As troubles came, and I can’t do anything to fix it, I just pray, sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t. what I did learn is God isn’t the only way to solve problems, you have to do a part too, most Cled teachers give this example: A boy doesn’t study for the test, the next day he prayed to God that he wants to pass the test, after the test was checked, he failed, some people thought that God won’t give you what you want or doesn’t hear your prayers. . This example gives so much meaning to me. For example: a student did a bad thing, he got in trouble… and prayed, he got suspended and blamed God for why he got in trouble. In this example, the child prayed to God, not thinking that he was the one who made the choice to do a bad thing. This also applies for me: in the two examples, they only prayed AFTER got in trouble, not before. You see, what I...

...of April, I walked through the doors of Moses Taylor hospital, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I was feeling apprehensive and uneasy, as I found myself at the nurses’ station of labor and delivery. Once I was finished with registration, I followed a nurse into the dusty rose and moss green room, where I would be staying until the much anticipated arrival of mychild.
I tried to keep myself occupied by watching television, reading, and doing crossword puzzles, but nothing could have kept me from feeling the excruciating pain of labor. The eagerness to have this all over and done with, was definitely not helping with the anxiety I was feeling during that process.
After 22 grueling and strenuous hours of being stuck in a bed, and three different shifts of nurses, I finally met my daughter. Friday morning, at 4:55am, the sky was dark and cloudy, and the moment Ihad been anxiously awaiting for nine and a half long months, was here at last.
Everyone in the room got very quiet as mychild entered the world. I was very confused as to why Ihad not heard any sounds coming from her and it began to worry me. The moment I heard her cry, I knew everything was going to be okay.
“Oh! She is...

...August 24, 2013 was the day that changed my life because that was the day my handsome son was born. I would’ve known myfirst love was my son. He is the best thing that ever came into my life. WhenIfirst found out I was pregnant I was in total shock because at the time I was 19 years old just starting college. I was so scared to tell my mom because I thought she was going to be pissed but she wasn’t she was very happy for me. WhenI was in labor all I was thinking about was having an healthy baby boy whom I named Kareem Knights Jr. My son taught me what love really is whenI looked him in his eyes.
The first and most important for being a parent is to love their children. Without love children would feel deprived and wonder why they weren't good enough. Love is also needed to help their child thrive and grow. Love brings the parent-child relationship closer, letting the child open up to their parents when there is a problem. Love is an all-around goodness to have.
The second is patience, a virtue that is hard to practice by many, with kids it can be difficult at times. They are...

...Narrative Essay
MyFirst on Firsts
Never have I ever been the risk-taker type of person. I kept on rationalizing and reasoning out that things should be done according to a valid purpose just to avoid being asked to do them. And frankly, I found every purpose or reason other people trying to convince me tell, in any way possible, invalid. I have escaped many adventures in life and lost opportunities that were already laid out in front of me. I practically think I even consider almost everything a waste of my time. Being the law-abiding citizen that I am, I thought life should be lived only according to every rule that was set. I was extremely obedient to the point that whenmy mother says I can’t leave the table unless I finish my food, I really didn’t move. And when she got back to check on me, she saw me sleeping beside my untouched lunch.
I grew up being prohibited to a lot of things because I was taken care of a little too much by my grandparents. I did everything as they say. It was a mortal sin for me to disappoint any member of my family. I never asked for anything...

...been in a car accident? I can imagine it was very unpleasant, especially at a young age when you don’t know what you need to do depending on the situation. I mean, any little fender bender is a simple swap of information, but have you ever been in a real car crash? It isn’t the easiest thing to go through, especially if you don’t have insurance. Luckily that wasn’t the case for me.
On Monday, September 17th, 2012, I was inmyfirst car accident. I would never thought with the way I drive I could be in a big car wreck. I am a really conservative driver and abide by all laws. It all started whenI made the decision to go down the road that leads into a very busy highway to cross. As I was pulling up to the stop sign, I knew it was a bad idea to have gone down this road, but before I knew it, it was too late. In the three years of driving down this road, Ihad never thought I would be a victim of the silly accidents that frequently occur on this highway. Sure enough, my luck had run out. While waiting to cross the three lane highway to go to school, Ihad to wait till someone in the middle lane left a gap for me to cross through. The middle lane is the lane where all the...
